The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Fundamental Physics Innovation Awards
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Fundamental Physics Innovation Awards hope to stimulate ideas on innovative ways in which emerging technologies can be used to address pressing problems in the physics of fundamental particles and interactions. The awards support a variety of ways to bring people together to discuss and collaborate on ideas to advance this area of research, as described in the Scientific Scope.
APS is working with the Moore Foundation to offer these awards. Funding is available in three categories:
– Lectureship Awards support visits that enable seminars and exchanges of ideas.
– Visitor Awards support extended visits between researchers to learn, develop, and share techniques or scientific approaches.
– Convening Awards support small scientific meetings to generate or build on ideas within the community.
